Smallest USB cable for iPod
While at Macworld Expo, I scoured
the isles to find a really short cable I could use to connect my iPod nano to my
Macintosh. It comes with a USB cable, but that needs to be coiled and packed if
I travel. I missed the convenience of the iPod shuffle, which just plugs
in.
Despite all the companies selling iPod gear, I found only one “cable” that was really small: the Link360 from Macally.
(Other people had retractable USB
cables, but they were larger.) Not technically a cable, but the two connectors
have a swivel attachment which should allow plugging in to a variety of
computers. I got a good discount at the show, and have been happy with it so
far. It even comes with a USB extension cable, which isn’t really
necessary with my setup (but will come in handy for other
uses).
There’s also a version for FireWire, if you have an older iPod.
